The Incredible Hulk

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Betty is trying to revive Bruce, a console explodes and a corridor is revealed that soldiers emerge from. It makes no sense for a heavy piece of machinery to be blocking the way into a corridor if blowing up the console is the only means of getting in or out.

Continuity mistake: When Betty is giving Bruce chest compressions, you can see armed soldiers standing in an empty doorway behind her. When the shot changes, a console explodes, revealing the same doorway that the soldiers are suddenly emerging from.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: The nutrient bath container that separated Banner and Hulk was large enough for both to comfortably fit inside, but when Betty is trying to perform CPR on Banner, you can see an unconscious Hulk still in the container, and it is suddenly barely large enough for him alone to fit inside. The design of the container also changes. (00:14:20)

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Just before Doc Samson tackles Talbot, Talbot fires his blaster, which hits the middle of a console. A couple of shots later, the blast mark is at the top of the console. Its size and shape change as well. In the wide shot it is nowhere to be seen. (00:14:00)

Other mistake: When the Outcasts are launching boulders at the helicopters, they hit one that explodes immediately, and both occupants can be seen emerging from the fireball, safely parachuting to the ground. Even if they were able to jump from the helicopter before it exploded, their proximity to the explosion would have killed them before they had the chance to deploy their parachutes.

Other mistake: The river that Hulk battles Doc Samson in is only ankle-deep, but when Samson knocks Hulk out with the sonic gun, the river current is able to carry Hulk downstream. Hulk is lying flat on his back, and since the water is only ankle-deep, his back would be touching the floor of the river. In this case, the current of a shallow river would not be able to carry someone of the Hulk's mass.

Continuity mistake: When Hulk is smashing his fists against the cliff walls, he causes Doc Samson to fall off the cliff and into the river near Hulk's feet. A couple of shots later, Samson has disappeared from view and a boulder is there in his place. (00:02:20)

Mortal Bounds - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Gargoyle is standing in the doorway of the hospital room bidding farewell to Banner, they are standing at a straight angle respective to each other. When the shot changes, Banner has moved several feet to the left. (00:20:17)

Mortal Bounds - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Abomination attacks Bruce Banner at the infirmary, he shoots him with a laser blast that leaves a hole in his shirt's chest area. In the next scene after Banner has been taken to Gargoyle's lair, his shirt is no longer damaged. (00:12:45 - 00:13:45)

Mortal Bounds - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: After Hulk breaks free of the cable Thor wrapped around him, he lands on the street and is hit by a car, which damages its bumper and windshield. When the shot changes the car is suddenly pristine until Thor lands on its hood. (00:06:35)

Mortal Bounds - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Blake is walking towards the phone, it is resting on its receiver. When the shot changes to him picking the phone up, it is suddenly on a piece of medical equipment.

Mortal Bounds - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Betty is walking through the infirmary, she is walking past a bedridden man to his left. After he reaches out and grabs her by the arm, the shot changes and she is suddenly on his right.

Trivia: When we see the flashback of the accident that caused Bruce Banner to become the Hulk, at first we see the Hulk colored gray and then slowly turn green. This is a reference to the comics, in which the Hulk was gray in his original appearance.

More trivia for The Incredible Hulk

Answer: The Hulk is a giant brute who smashes everything in his path when he is angry. In Ang Lee's "Hulk," General Ross, played by Sam Elliot, explains it to his daughter.

Answer: Because he feels the Hulk is a threat to all life on Earth, and particularly his daughter's close relationship with Bruce Banner puts her at risk when Hulk enters the equation.

Phaneron

Why does Ross think the hulk is a threat?

Because the Hulk is nearly mindless and goes on destructive rampages with high risk of collateral damage.

Phaneron

If that's the case, what's the problem with the way general Ross judges the hulk?

It's nuanced. Ross is correct to recognize the potential danger the Hulk presents, but he's also too stubborn to realise that he usually exacerbates the Hulk's rampages by trying to engage him in combat instead of trying to calm him down.
